From his first post, its a 94. The paper clip will work.

In all honesty, this is the first I have heard about '94 not being OBD 1.5.

Wikipedia says OBD 1.5 BTW.

Does the plug have 12 slots, or 16. Not places where wires are, just spots in general.

You are correct, I was wrong:

1992 to 1993 - OBD1
1994 to 1995 - OBD1.5 (OBD1 system, OBD2 plug, OBD2 codes)
1996 to 1999 - OBD2
